Chapter 966: Arad The Human Vs Monster Bear



"Flashing before the heaven's rumble, a divine spark blasts forth!" Gogonbronso swung her staff forward, "Strike my enemy to ash, burn them with brilliant lightning!"

A lightning bolt jolted from the tip of her staff, hitting the beat square in the head with a thunderclap.

The bear didn't even flinch, its brownish hide spiked as he stood up, glaring down at Hannah who held her longsword in front of him. That wasn't a normal bear even if it looked like one, it was a full-fledged monster. He looked like a normal grizzly bear, but his bright red eyes told a new story.

The bear swung its front claws down and Hannah dodged by a swift backstep, she immediately swung her sword at the bear's eyes, only for him to bite her sword and shatter it.

The bear swung his claws at her without slowing down, trying to rip her apart. Hannah lifted her arms and cried, "Iron Wall!" A metal shield appeared floating before her for just a second, it blocked the bear's charge and vanished. Hannah was flung back as the defensive spell failed to kill the bear's momentum.

Jimmy threw a dagger right at the bear's eye as Chloe extended her hand. "HEAL!" Healing Hannah in case she got injured.

The dagger bounced off the bear's iron-hard skull, missing the eye by a fingertip. Gogonbronso is still recovering from her previous spell, Jimmy doesn't have enough power to push the bear back and Chloe can't even deal damage. Hannah was on the ground, right beneath the now-standing bear, about to get squashed by its mighty claws.

Their quest had described a normal brown bear since that was what the scout saw. A scout isn't meant to fight so they had no idea knowing that this was a monster. If Jimmy's party knew they were facing a monster bear not a normal brown bear, they would've have taken such a dangerous quest. A normal brown bear would've died by Gogonbronso's earlier spell. Jimmy didn't even have time to go bring the sedation dart, that thing was in the back of the carriage as the plan was to spot the bear first and shoot him with it. They flopped this quest, and they are going to pay for it with blood.

CLACK! The carriage's door clapped open, and a massive shadow walked out. When standing upright, Arad dwarfed Jimmy and his party. Where poor Jimmy couldn't even reach Arad's stomach in height, the other girls were far shorter.

The bear stopped moving and looked at Arad, by instinct, large creatures are dangerous, and the bear was stunned to see a human standing that tall, and wider than him at the shoulders.

Arad walked to the bear and stood between him and Hannah, glaring straight at the standing bear's eyes. Arad was half a foot taller. It was like seeing two giant monsters facing each other.

The bear suddenly swung his claw, hitting Arad's neck and upper chest, leaving five gaping slashes.

[HP: 195/250]==>[HP: 126/250]

Blood splashed out of Arad's neck, the bear's slash had hit a major artery.

[HP: 126/250]==>[HP: 116/250] He was rapidly bleeding, 10HP a second, which meant now he only had 12 seconds to live. [Bleeding: 10HP/second]

With human-level reaction speed, Arad wasn't able to react in time and ended up getting slashed. Arad's mind realized that he got hit just a fraction of a second after getting slashed, and he countered almost immediately, a full-power right hook right at the bear's cheek.

The bear's head jolted aside upon getting punched, he stumbled back, his eyes tearing out as he landed on his four limbs, staring up at the bleeding Arad with a shocked face. That punch hurts, a lot, it felt like getting slapped by another bear, heavy, hard, and agonizing.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Arad stared coldly at the bear, blood still dripping across his chest.

[Healing] Arad's body surged with holy magic, and the bleeding slowed down. [Bleeding: 8HP/second]

[Healing] [Bleeding: 6HP/second]

[Healing] [Bleeding: 4HP/second]

[Fire bolt [MP: 170/250]==>[MP:155/250]

[Fire bolt [MP: 155/250]==>[MP:140/250]

The fire faded upon hitting the bear, and Arad could only hear Yog giggling inside his head. [Fire is useless, I made the bear immune to it.]

^So this is how you're going to play, goddess of magic. ^ Arad growled. The goddess of magic

rules this world and she can influence anything with her magic. She won't be sitting still at her tower waiting for him, she'll be always trying to interfere and make things harder for him.

[And don't even try using constellation, those only work thanks to the system. That thing doesn't exist here, I alone control this world.]

^I'm not going to...^ Arad lifted his right foot, and took a long step forward, closing the distance to the now rejuvenated bear. ^I'll crush him head-on...^

The bear charged forward to bite Arad, but its feet suddenly sunk into the ground.

[Mud Shift] A simple spell equal to [Fire botl] It turns a two-foot cube of dirt into mud. Albeit

being categorized as an earth spell, it a water magic at the core.

[MP: 140/250]==>[MP:125/250]

Arad's foot landed right beside the bear's head as he winded up a large swing with a clenched

fist. Arad aimed for the bear's eye.

The bear instantly pulled his legs from the mud and swung at Arad. Bears are used to running in rivers so mud barely slows them down. The claws raced toward Arad's stomach,

threatening to disembowel him.

"Hmmmmmmm!" Arad growled with a tensed face as he turned his hips, turning his foot

aside, and slid beside the bear.

A wound appeared on the bear's neck, bleeding as Arad stood beside it, holding an ice sword

in his hand, taking a strange stance. [Ice Sword] [MP: 125/250]==>[90/125]

Ruris's Royal swordsmanship, Isdis's fighting style with an ice blade.

As the bear bled, a second sword appeared in Arad's left arm, one that was made of burning

fire. [Flame Blade] [MP: 90/250]==>[55/125]

With his mana running dry, Arad conserved enough for a few spells and conjured weapons for him to fight using his physical power.
